DIVINITY BUILDING.


Catholic university. The powers that be
have so decided, and they already own the
ground E. Francis Baldwin, of Baltimore,
is the architect. The work was given him
without solicitation, and he was instructed to
design building resembling st. Mary's
Theological seminary in Baltimore. He it
was who built the Johns Hopkins university,
also the Baltimore and Ohio Central offices
and st. Mary's seminary.
Seven buildings are comprehended in the
plan, but at present the divinity building
only will be erected, and for that the spade
will go into the earth right soon 1t will be
put upon the southeast corner of the estate,
will front south and will cost S175, ,000 1t
will be plain of exterior, the material bricks,
with columns between the windows of stone.
The plan consists of a center or main build
ing fifty-fve feet front, five stories in height,
with wings on each side 105 feet long, making
a total frontage of 265 feet. An l. wing ON
the left, which will be duplicated OH the right
when needed, makes the total depth 160 feet
A wide staircase leads into a spacious hall,
at the rear of which will be a staircase, the
steps rising from each side. A class room
and lecture room, seating 800 persons, will be
on the right of the hall. On the left will be
tain the refectory, china room, pantry, sew
ing room, and in the little building which
forms the extremity Of the l. will be the
kitchen, etc.
The chapel will be in the rear of the center
building, elevated, and will be approached
from the landing of the main stairway. Be
low will be the recreation room and library.
The chapel consists of a nave 26 by GO feet,
alnQUpc
side chapels. The sanctuary will be IS by 26
feet, and there will be two large sacristies in
the rear of the altar.
The library is reached through the reading
and recreation rooms. 1t is well lighted, and
its alcoves will hold 1O, 900 volumes.
The second, third and fourth floors will be
reached by the grand staircase in the center
building and fire proof stairs at the end Of
each wing, and will be arranged so as to give
two rooms to each professor and student
viz, sitting and bed room. On the second
floor in the center building will be the rooms
of the president, and another suite for bishops
when visiting, both with bathrooms attached.
In the wings will be accommodations for four
professors and thirteen students, besides the
professors dining room, with pantry. bath
rooms and other conveniences. On the third
floor will be rooms for six professors or
guests and sixteen students, and on the fourth
floor for two professors and seventeen stu
dents, with three rooms to be used for pri-
vate chapels. The total accommodations
will then be as follows: President and pro-
fessors, twelve suites; students, fortysix
suites; guests, three rooms.
The architecture Of the building will be
Romanesque, and the time to be occupied in
its erection is variously estimated at from
one to three years.
WHAT Is THE TROUBLE?

very able graduates. Th. National Deaf
Mute college visited last when Queen Kapio-
lani was here. 1t has magnificent building
covering nearly half an acre, and it is under
the charge of Mr. Gallaudet, one of the most
noted teachers of the deaf and dumb in the
world. The grounds about it are known as
Kendall Green and the college is located on
what was previously the home of Amos Ken
dali, the man who acted as the Dan Lamont
Of Andrew Jackson, though he was not his
private secretary, and who was once post
master general of the United States.
The Columbian university is another lead
ing educational institution at Washington.
Its students are white, and it has a very fine
building within a stones throw of the treas
ury department and the White House, and in
the most fashionable quarter Of the CITY, 1t
has medical school building on II street,
which was erected for it by Mr. Corcoran, at
a cost of SAC, 900, and its law school is held in
the university building.
The public schools of Washington are also
very fine. The colored and white scholars
have different buildings, and in many of the
buildings the sexes are separated. 1t costs
Washington from between quarter to half
million of dollars year for its schools and
about one-third Of this is set apart for the
colored schools. The school buildings are
among the finest in the United States,
and the Franklin school building, on
Franklin square, took a medal at the
Vienna exposition, being one of the finest
school buildings in the world. The Jefferson
school building will accommodate 200 pu-
pills, and it is named after President Jefferson,
who was, just before his presidency, men,
ber Of the Washington school board. At this
time the school fund of Washington came
from the taxes on slaves, dogs, liquors, bill
lard tables and peddlers, as levied in Wash
ington city, and in 1896 the schools were sup
ported by lottery. There is now school tax,
and the teachers get their salaries by going to
the treasury department for them at the last
Of the month. They form in line and take
their turn in going past the window of the
cash room.

Virgin Illinois Prairie Devoted to Snake
Raising by Wholesale.
The great snake farm at Galton, Ills, con-
sists of forty acres Of virgin prairie, owned
by Col. Dan Stover, and is short distance
from town. There are thirty-seyen mounds
of earth on the farm, prepared in such way
that the snakes use them for nests, and there
are about ten or twelve nests to the mound.
The colonel says that each nest turns out
about dozen rattlers each year, so that his
stock is increasing rapidly. He has con-
tract with Philadelphia patent medicine
firm that is making rheumatism cure and
furnishes them $50 snakes year at $2.25
